Question

if 15.9 of every 100 pregnant women in Georgia deliver their babies by c section how many pregnant women out of 25,250 would be expected to deliver by c section

Answer 1

15.9 / 100 = c / 25,250....15.9 c sections to 100 women = c to 25,250 women
cross multiply
(100)(c) = (15.9)(25,250)
100c = 401475
c = 401475/100
c = 4014.75 <===
